The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1977

Esmeralda did not see this scene. She was completely immersed in her own thoughts.

Some things had passed for many years, but for her, it was as if it had happened yesterday. No matter how hard she tried, she could not forget.

She bit her lower lip, feeling a little nervous and depressed. Evangeline did not push her, but focused on observing Zion.

She found that as long as she got close to Zion, Zion would move slightly. Although it was not very big, it was enough to make Evangeline feel at ease. After all, it showed that Zion's consciousness was clear.

Esmeralda finally took a deep breath and said, "That beast almost raped me when I was thirteen.”

"What did you say?"

No matter how calm Evangeline was, she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the news, and then the needle in her hand became not straight.

An almost inaudible groan sounded in Evangeline's ear. It was short and soft, but it was clearly heard by Evangeline.

She suddenly felt a little happy, as if she had thought of something. She took out a silver needle and inserted it into a place where the acupuncture points were not.

Zion wanted to cry.

He was in so much pain!

Was Evangeline doing it on purpose?

But he didn't think it was possible.

The hot and dry feeling made him feel like he was in a desert. He was so thirsty that he couldn't find anything to support himself. However, he was stabbed by Evangeline. Zion felt that he might really cry.

Esmeralda did not know the interaction between the two of them. She was completely immersed in her own thoughts.

Her eyes were full of tears. She gritted her teeth and said word by word, "You didn't hear me wrong. My brother made me drunk on my 13th birthday and almost forced himself onto me. If it weren't for the dagger on me, I might really..."

Esmeralda's tears finally fell.

Even after so many years, she still could not forget the shame and sadness that day.

After a few acupuncture needles, Evangeline found that Zion's body temperature seemed to have dropped a little. She couldn't help but feel happy, but she also felt a little depressed because of Esmeralda's experience.

"He's your own brother!"

"So what? The Laurent family only needs a spokesperson! His desire has been to be the spokesperson of the Laurent family since he was a child. But after my father married my mother, he doted on my mother very much. He saw me as a thorn in his side. This is because I am just a girl. If I were a boy, I might not have been able to live until now."

Esmeralda took a deep breath, looked at Evangeline, and said, "Anne, I know what you're thinking. You may think that I'm using you and him to avenge myself, or to eradicate him, but as long as my brother is here, we won't live in peace! Even brother is involved in the matter of Allegra!"

"What did you say?"

Evangeline didn't pay much attention to Esmeralda's words, but when it came to Allegra, she couldn't calm down.

Esmeralda looked at Evangeline and said in a low voice, "The casino that her former adoptive father often goes to is opened by my eldest brother, but it's under hisuncle's name. Besides, that man's debts were designed by my brother. My mother checked it out. The orphanage before Allegra was very remote, so it's impossible for her former adoptive mother to go there. It was my brother's people who told her about it and then brought her there. And Allegra was intentionally being adopted by them. Besides, Allegra is just a child who has just turned one year old. Why did they insert needles into her? He is a stranger who has never known the child. Because he adopted the child, they became a family. No matter what, his wife can't have children, so he had to be caring towards this young girl and love her dearly. It's impossible for him to be so cruel to a kid!"

Evangeline didn't know much about these things. Now that she heard Esmeralda's words, she immediately felt that it didn't make sense.

So why did he do that?

What role did the eldest son of the Laurent family play in this matter?

Evangeline's mind was in a mess.

Although Zion was in a coma, he could still hear their conversation. He couldn't help frowning.

Who was the target of this design?
